Yes, Jefferson Alexander Cepeda has signed with Androni.Alexander. Jefferson is with Caja.
4 years and a juicy buyout clause, I'm guessing.
I think Formolo was supposed to be going to UAE too.When is Aru's contract up?
Finally! I was getting a bit worried because of lack of any contract news from the team since August 1st.Magnus Cort to EF (source twitter EF)
Interesting: Movistar is refusing to work with Giuseppe Acquadro. I know some other teams have refused to work with him before (like DQS and Trek after the Sosa debacle) but this is pretty striking since they’ve attracted lots of riders through him in the past. That now makes numerous top teams that put him on the blacklist, leaving Ineos (especially) and Astana as key clients. But you can certainly say it dwindles down options for riders in his portfolio. Acquadro has said earlier in the season that he will not let “any of his riders” sign for Movistar.
There are also rumors (one of the sources being l’Equipe) suggesting that Acquadro asked Brailsford directly to let De La Cruz start in the Vuelta allowing him to showcase himself (he’s out of a contract).
Baffling how an agent like that has control or tries to control riders/teams..
I wouldn’t be opposed to a figure like that disappearing from the cycling scene.

Starting to get concerned for Ineos in the transfer market this year.
Poels, De La Cruz, Rosa, Elissonde, Halvorsen and Basso moving on.
But only Carapaz and Pidcock coming?
Some interesting names still available:
Pello Bilbao
Esteban Chaves
Ruben Fernandez
Louis Meintjes
Neilson Powless
Nathan Haas
Matteo Fabbro
Fabio Felline
Niklas Eg
